Set the mode dial to "M".

Set shutter speed with the top / bottom point of the jog dial.

Pressing the top point of the jog dial will fasten up shutter speed.

Pressing the bottom point of the jog dial will slow down shutter

speed.

Press the shutter release button down halfway.

The green lamp inside the viewfinder will light up to indicate the cam-

era is ready to take the picture.

The exposure level will be displayed on the control panel.

If exposure is off by more than ±2 EV, a triangle blinks on the panel.

If metering is impossible, all the exposure indications blink.

Press the shutter release button down all the way.

Portraits

Try recalling a portrait you have seen. Many times, a portrait of a

singer or movie star shows the subject in focus with a plain or out-of-

focus background.You can take portrait-like shots by making the back-

ground hazy so that the subject stands out. This is done easily in the A

mode by simply setting a narrow aperture.

To make the background blurry, the aperture must be F 2.8. The wider

the aperture, the narrower the range of focus is, hence the background

falls out-of-focus.

Group Photographs

Try recalling a group photograph such as a class photo taken on a

school trip. Everyone stands in a row and a wide area including the

background is brought into focus.You, too, can take group photographs

that focus not only on the subject but the background as well. This is

done easily in the A mode by simply setting a wide aperture.

To include the background within the range of focus, the aperture must

be F 5.6. The wider the aperture, the narrower the range of focus is,

hence the background falls out-of-focus.The narrower the aperture, the

wider the range of focus is, hence the background can be brought

within focus.
